Episode Details

The latest episode of TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Flowhub, takes a closer look at a comment out of Washington that’s stirring debate across the cannabis industry.Republican Senator Ted Budd recently claimed that President Donald Trump was “poorly advised” on cannabis rescheduling — a statement that immediately raised eyebrows among policy analysts, investors, and industry operators. In this episode, host Shadd Dales slows the conversation down and breaks apart what that comment actually means — and more importantly, what it doesn’t.The episode examines where the recommendation to reschedule cannabis really came from: a formal scientific and medical review conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That process concluded cannabis has accepted medical use and a lower abuse potential than Schedule I substances — findings that challenge long-standing political narratives still used by some lawmakers today.The conversation also tackles one of the most common talking points in cannabis reform debates: youth access. Using real-world data from regulated markets, the episode explains why compliance-driven legalization has consistently reduced underage access — and why prohibition has failed to do the same.Rather than leaning into ideology, this episode focuses on evidence, process, and accountability. It asks a simple but necessary question: when federal health agencies and decades of data point in one direction, what’s really driving resistance?#TDRCannabisInFive #CannabisRescheduling #CannabisPolicy #FederalCannabis#WashingtonPolitics #CannabisReform #Flowhub#MarijuanaPolicy #CannabisIndustry#TradeToBlackWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?🎬    • Virginia Is Finally Getting Serious About ...  🎬    • Why Washington Still Bans Homegrown Cannab...  🎬    • Who’s Trying to Undo Legal Cannabis? | TDR...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:
